I can be hard to decide on what to wear for your maternity session. I always suggest starting with the mother’s outfit and then building from there for the other family members. Here are a few of my favorite plus size maternity dresses. They range from various styles and prices but all photograph beautifully. Christy […]

This session was so full of joy and warm family connections. I always love when a grandparent opens the door when I arrive. It shows how much we need support and family when a new baby enters the world. This session was so close to our own home that I could walk there. We love […]

I had the privilege of walking through the Dumbarton Oaks gardens this spring. Two of my friends from Virginia drove into the city and we had such a lovely day together. Dumbarton Oaks is bathed in beauty and history. I’ve visited in multiple seasons but springtime is my favorite while the wisteria is in bloom. […]

This maternity session in DC was simply lovely! I think gardens are the perfect location for a maternity photo shoot. The new life blooming all around and the gentle feel that gardens gift us.

I grew up in a family of five girls (until my little brother arrived years later) so this felt really special. I also love watching fathers interact when they have multiple daughters. They are so gentle and it makes […]

This sweet boy had just arrived home from a long NICU stay. His parents were so brave and excited to celebrate him coming home. Being a Gaithersburg MD Newborn Photographer allows me to enter in some of the happiest moments of a family’s life. Their living room had really good light so we started there […]
